From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

He closed his eyes and looked at the countdown for the crossing in the upper right corner.

【00:00:25】

Time is running out, get ready to go.

The air mixed with a faint scent of incense is inhaled into the nose and then slowly exhaled.

This happened several times, and suddenly, the air became clean and bright light shone into my eyes from all directions.

Leo opened his eyes and saw the computer room he had built with his own hands.

The petite and cute 2D cat girl with white hair and red eyes was waving at him with wide eyes and energy.

"Father!"

Pure White rushed into his arms and gave him a big hug.

Leo subconsciously opened his arms to hug her, but the next second he regretfully discovered that her body was illusory and could not be touched at all...

Despite this, Chunbai was still very happy with their intimate embrace, and her wildly swinging cat tail was the best proof of this.

Leo's attention was distracted by her wagging tail for a while before he suddenly remembered the important matter.

"Stop messing around, I have to quickly tidy up the computer room facilities."

"Okay, it's already been planned for you!"

Glancing around, he saw that his supply stacks were in a corner of the room. Besides that, the area filled with blue light had changed shape and covered a portion of the equipment in the computer room.

"Father, please clear the area within the blue light to maximize the storage space."

There was no need to say more at this point, he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and got down to work.

In order to improve efficiency, he directly drove Krenzikov to the third gear, using the effect of bullet time to maximize the effect of each movement.

His high concentration made him ignore the change of time.

By the time he moved the last of the gadgets out of the blue light zone, the back of his shirt was soaked.

After making sure the work was done, he ran to the air conditioner and enjoyed the cool breeze.

Looking at the shaking air conditioner blades, his expression changed: "Chunbai, where does the power in the computer room come from? My backup power supply can't last that long, right?"

Since just now, Chunbai has been following him like a little tail. Hearing this, he quickly replied, "Yes, I am not using your diesel generator. The equipment in the singularity space can be regarded as having unlimited energy. The principle is currently unknown."

Infinite energy... Isn't that a perpetual motion machine!?

Leo's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and he looked around again.

What a pity! I should have rented a bigger computer room so that I could fit more equipment in it.

The light wall around the computer room is also an eyesore. It would be better if it could be expanded outwards...

As he was imagining the future, Chunbai reminded him again: "Father, you don't have much time left. Please adjust your mindset and prepare for the next time you travel."

"what!?"

Leo was shocked.

"No... didn't I just get here? Why do I have to travel through time again?"

He quickly looked at the countdown and found that there were really only a few minutes left.

"It took me almost three hours to organize these devices?"

"Yes, your efficiency is already very high. If it were an ordinary worker, it would take them a whole day to finish this work."

Pure White praised him, but he wasn't happy at all.

The damn Gotham was waiting for him on the other side, and he really didn't want to deal with those simple locals at all.

"Before you go, can I ask you a question?"

Hearing Chunbai's words, Leo looked at her curiously: "You say."

"When you were frightened and anxious and began to look for a lifeline, why was your first choice V instead of me?

You know, I am the first person to appear beside you."

"Ah this..."

This question is indeed a bit difficult to answer, mainly because it is beyond his psychological expectations and he has never thought about it.

Why choose V instead of pure white?

Because... Pure White was not an option for him at first, and he didn't know what abilities she had, but it seemed a bit hurtful to say this.

As if seeing his hesitation, Chunbai put her hands on her hips, and a pair of furry cat ears stood up, forming a standard airplane ear shape:

"I hope you can trust me completely, just as I trust you completely. The subject bound to the singularity space is you, and I and the machine room are your appendages. If you disappear one day, everything here will be annihilated by the turbulence of time and space.

Please believe me, I am completely loyal to you! For you, I am willing to do anything! ! "

These words...at first glance, sound a bit like a confession.

Leo's eyes swept across her face and he avoided looking at her guiltily.

If he had known that she could "come back to life", he shouldn't have used this embarrassing two-dimensional style, which made him feel embarrassed when looking at her now...

But seeing her like that, if I didn't give her an explanation, I was afraid she would hold a grudge, so I could only bite the bullet and answer, "You and I are from the same world. I didn't know your ability at first, so I naturally gave priority to looking for someone who was more 'familiar'."

"is that so?"

"Of course!" Leo nodded vigorously.

Chunbai breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest cutely: "That's good, I thought you were being sensible and were embarrassed to ask me for help because I called you father.

In fact, I can change the way I address you if you wish."

Leo hesitated for a moment. Considering that she might play the role of a cyber hacker in the future and interact with other members of the team, it was indeed inappropriate for her to always call him "Father".

Not only is it easy to be misunderstood, it may also ruin his reputation.

"Then...just call me Leo, no need for honorifics."

The pure white tail immediately stood up, and the little face was radiant: "I understand! You don't want to maintain a father-daughter relationship with me anymore, do you want to be closer?

It doesn’t matter. Although I can’t do it for now, I will definitely find a way to have a physical body in the future. Then I can soothe your body and mind at the same time!”

"That's not what I meant! You should stop reading the nonsense on the Internet! I..."

"Leo, you don't have to say anything more. I watch the audio and video materials in your computer every day. I know you better than anyone else!"

"me……!"

This is a threat... This must be a threat!

Leo almost vomited blood.

His face turned from red to purple, and then from purple to black, and he was about to die on the spot.

Chunbai didn't care: "You only have five seconds left to stay. Have a pleasant journey!"

"Five...four..."

Nobody: Chapter 67 Batman: "I see you."

"Three...two...one!"

In a flash, the pure white smiling face disappeared from sight.

Instead, there was an alley... No, that's not right, what is this! ?

Leo widened his eyes and looked around, completely dumbfounded.

Wasn’t it agreed that the return point after time travel cannot be changed?

He clearly remembered that he was in an alley next to a bank when he left Gotham. But now, it looked like an indoor scene, and the style was extremely weird.

There were cold walls all around him, without any decoration or even a hint of color. There was nothing on the flat concrete floor, except for the unknown material of the floor under his feet, and no other furniture or decorations.

The air smelled very clean, but not the kind of clean that makes people feel comfortable. Instead, it had a dead and cold smell.

grass……

What is this for me?

When he was in doubt, Leo asked for help at the fastest speed.

[Pure White! What's going on? Is this where I left? ]

[Wait a minute, I'm trying to connect to the wireless network... Successful, according to satellite positioning, you are where you left last time, not far to the west is the corner bank.]

[Then what I am doing is…]

Click.

hum-

A sudden noise interrupted his thoughts.

Along with it came a bright light that was bright enough to blind the eyes.

I go!

Leo put his hands to cover his eyes, and only then did he recover from the impact of the strong light.

Turn on the scanner in the artificial eye and look out through the gaps between the fingers.

With ample light, he first saw the large iron door at the end of the room, and then he saw the densely packed electronic equipment on the ceiling.

Unlike the empty floor and walls, the ceiling was filled with high-definition cameras, searchlights, and other equipment that had no apparent use.

When he first came into the room, the devices were all on standby.

But now – they are all activated!

Searchlights lit up from all directions, illuminating the room as bright as day, comparable to shadowless lamps.

The camera also swung slowly, searching for anything suspicious in the room.

The only thing Leo was thankful for was that he still had cognitive distortion protection, and these devices would not be able to see him within five minutes.

Seeing these arrangements, he came to his senses a little bit - could it be that the damn Batman had built a cell for him on the spot...

How much hatred?

Even the bank robbery failed, why are you so persistent?!

[Leo, the cognitive distortion protection still has four minutes left, don't be dazed.]

Leo was startled when he received the pure white message. Just as he was about to raise his legs, he heard Batman's devilish whisper from the speaker:

“I see you.”

As expected of Batman, just one sentence made Leo's hair stand on end.

It must be said that Batman's voice is already low, and when he says this, it feels like he's in a horror movie.

He was really afraid that the next sentence would be - I want to play a game with you.

Fortunately, it's not.

"I know you're here, even if you used invisibility." Batman was still whispering, "Look under your feet, that's a weight pressure plate. You weigh 75 kilograms, very healthy, Mr. Magician."

Leo lowered his head and his eyes suddenly went dark.

After being activated by Batman, the weight-measuring pressure plate even has a digital display, just like a scale...

That being said, Batman knew about his crossing the first second.

Damn, it’s cheating!

The scumbag Batman who uses perspective to bully people...

However, cognitive distortion protection doesn't seem to be omnipotent, which serves as a reminder to him...

No matter how much he complains, he will eventually have to face reality.

The scanner looked around and confirmed that there was only one exit in this room and that the iron door was powered.

Ordinary fragmentation grenades probably wouldn't be able to blow up Batman's special cell, and even if they did, he would still have to face his endless pursuit.

Besides, this is Gotham, Batman’s base… I can’t afford to offend him, really for now.

Anyway, I haven't committed any serious crime, so I'll just have a good talk with Batman.
